Private Life
Tait was an enthusiastic golfer and, of his seven children, two, Frederick Guthrie Tait (1870–1900) and John Guthrie Tait (1861–1945) went on to become gifted amateur champions. John was an all-round sportsman and represented Scotland at international level in rugby union. Tait himself had, in 1891, invoked the Magnus effect to explain the influence of spin on the flight of a golf ball.
